Application filed January 17, 1905. Serial No. 241.448.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR L. PERRA, a citizen of the United States, residing at Millbury, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Adjustable Curtain-Fixture, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a new and improved curtain-fixture which will permit of all necessary adjustments, so that a shade and curtain, if desired, may be secured at any position on a window-casing. The bracket also permits of shades being taken down and replaced in other positions, which is desirable when the shades are to be taken from one house to another.

The device is shown in the accompanying drawings, referring to which Figure 1 is an elevation of the device. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of the curtain-rod holder. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the adjustable bracket. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the holders, showing its relative position to the curtain. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of one of the holdingbars. Fig. 6 is an elevation of a modification, and Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the curtain-rod holder used in the device shown in Fig. 6.

Referring to the drawings and in detail, A designates the adjustable bracket. The same is made in two'sections, one of which 10 has a base-piece which can be secured to the casing and a projecting shank which has a noncircular, preferably'square, opening therein to receive a noncircular or square shank projecting from the body portion of the other section 11 of the bracket. Fitted in this hole is a square or rectangular bar B. Two of these adjustable brackets are used on each window. Fitted on these bars B thereof are the holders C C, which have rectangular openings to fit said bar. These holders C C are made with sockets, into which the ends of an ordinary roller-shade can be fitted.

The sections 10 of the brackets A are provided with screws by which the two sections thereof can be adjustably secured together, and the holders 0 C are provided with screws -by which they can be adjustably secured on the bars B'. By this arrangement a curtainshade can be secured in any desired adjusted position on the window-casing, and, if desired, the same can be taken down and moved to other locations, the adjustments previously described permitting a large range of adjustment both parallel with the axis of the curtain-shade and at right angles thereto. I

Fitted on the bars B B are curtain-holders D D, which have square holes to fit to said bars. The curtain-rod holders are provided with screws by which they can be adjustably set on said bars B B. The curtain-rod holders are provided with prongs 13, which may be inserted up through holes in the curtainrod E to secure the same in place.

In Figs. 6 and 7 a modification is shown in which each curtain-rod holder is provided with yokes 14 at its upper end to support a large curtain-rod Fl By the arrangements before described the curtain-shades and curtains can be adjustably secured in position in a very expeditious The details and arrangements herein shown may be greatly varied by a skilled mechanic without departing from the scope of my invention as expressed in the claim.

It will be observed that an important advantage of my invention lies in the fact that the shade-supporting and the curtain-supporting devices are bodily and simultaneously adjustable to and from the window-frame, while at the same time the shade-supporting devices and the curtain-supporting devices are independently adjustable transversely of the window-frame, whereby my fixture can be adapted to various sizes of shades and curtains.

pendently adjustable transversely of the w1ndow-frame, shade-supporting arms independently adjustable on the inner ends of said bars and independentlyremovable therefrom, and pole supporting arms independently adjustable on the outer ends of said bars and independently removable therefrom,

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of tWo subscribing Witnesses.
